When you’re on vacation, be on vacation! I’m writing this in the beautiful Florida Keys. Right on the water, watching the boats and the sea birds. This is a working vacation for me, but I plan to make the most of my hours off.

It’s much too easy for my mind to go a million miles an hour, thinking about things I have to do, worry about things that might happen, what’s planned for the hours to come. I’m a big worrier – mostly about things I have no control over.

This time, though, I have resolved to focus on the now. What I have to do right now. Not about tomorrow or next week. I know that there is no sense in worrying about things I cannot control, and I will do my best to stop that as soon as I feel the worry starting. Just breathe and focus on the task at hand.

To help me, I have also resolved to plan my goals and outline the steps that must be taken to accomplish them. That way, when I start to worry about the future, I will focus on the goals I’ve set and the fact that the task I’m working on is a step in that direction.

But during those off-hours, I plan to breathe and enjoy what’s around me.

Cute workout tees, tanks, water bottles and more!

I love the French Bulldog images on these items! Of course, the fact that they were created based on my sister’s Teddy helps! You’ll be taken to the Cafe Press shop where you can see all the “Tedmonstah” designs. Cafe Press tees are excellent quality – nice and heavy, and they wash really well. And that’s an important consideration for workout clothes!

Pilates and Yoga combined

PiYo is one of my favorite workout programs. It’s Pilates combined with Yoga. All fluid movement that builds strength and flexibility and balance. Combined with Shakeology – dense, plant-based super-nutrition that can be a meal replacement. I drink Shakeology every day and I do PiYo all the time. The Challenge Pack includes the complete PiYo series and a month of Shakeology at a great price. It’ll get you started on your path to health, balance and fitness!
